Wilson’s support trailers

Mass Care Support TrailerThe MCST is primarily utilized by WCEM in emergency situations to assist Wilson Coun-ty’s elderly citizens. The trailer is stocked with various supplies, including: wheelchairs, walkers, cots and ramps, among other provisions.

Emergency Companion Animal Support TrailerThe ECAST provides the WCEM with a variety of animal supplies for boarding when area pets need assistance. Both the MCST and the ECAST are provided and supplied solely by money the department receives from grants.

Hurricanes are most threatening to residents along our nation’s coast-lines. But such fierce storms also have been known to build up enough momentum to carry their destructive winds inland for hundreds of miles. Heavy rains, flooding, and tornadoes add to the damage hurricanes can inflict on your home and community.

Prepare for a hurricane by complet-ing each item on the checklist below. Then meet to discuss and finalize your Family Disaster Plan:

Put together a Disaster Sup-plies Kit in a clearly labeled, easy-to-grab container.

Location of Disaster Supplies Kit: _________________________________________________________________

Call your local emergency management or planning and zon-ing office to find out if you live in an area that could flood during a hurricane or heavy rains.

Flood area: Yes No

Prepare an evacuation plan in case you must leave. Share your plan with the relatives or friends you plan to stay with—or plan to go to a Red Cross shelter. Add to your Disaster Supplies Kit a map marked with two alternative routes to your destination.

Evacuation plan completed: ___

__________________________________________________________________

Write instructions on how to turn off your home’s electricity, water, and gas if advised to do so by local authorities. (A professional must turn gas service back on.)

Instructions written: ___________________________________________________________________________

Make a list of items to bring inside in the event of a storm. Keep this list in your Disaster Supplies Kit.

List completed: ________________________________________________________________________________

Buy any items needed to board up windows and protect your home well ahead of time. Precut plywood to fit windows so that you can quickly cover windows.

Items purchased to protect home: ______________________________________________

Have an engineer check your home and advise you about ways to make it more resistant to hur-ricane winds.

Engineer checked home: ______________________________________________________

Changes recommended: ______________________________________

And remember ... when a hurricane, earth-quake, flood, tornado, or other emergency happens in your community, you can count on your local American Red Cross chapter to be there to help you and your family.

Your Red Cross is not a government agency and depends on contributions of your time, money, and blood.

For more information, contact:Wilson County Emergency Management ( www.wilson-co.com / 252-399-2830) or the local Red Cross chapter, or the National Weather Service office.

Terms to know during hurricane season

Advisory: Official information issued by

tropical cyclone warning centers de-scribing all tropical cyclone watches and warnings in effect along with details concerning tropical cyclone locations, intensity and movement, and precautions that should be taken. Advisories are also issued to describe: (a) tropical cyclones prior to issuance of watches and warnings and (b) subtropical cyclones.

Best Track: A subjectively-smoothed represen-

tation of a tropical cyclone’s location and intensity over its lifetime. The best track contains the cyclone’s latitude, longitude, maximum sustained surface winds, and minimum sea-level pressure at 6-hourly intervals. Best track posi-tions and intensities, which are based on a post-storm assessment of all available data, may differ from values contained in storm advisories. They also gener-ally will not reflect the erratic motion implied by connecting individual center fix positions.

Center: Generally speaking, the vertical axis of

a tropical cyclone, usually defined by the location of minimum wind or minimum pressure. The cyclone center position can vary with altitude. In advisory products, refers to the center position at the surface.

Cyclone: An atmospheric closed circulation

rotating counter-clockwise in the North-ern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.

Eye: The roughly circular area of com-

paratively light winds that encompasses the center of a severe tropical cyclone. The eye is either completely or partially surrounded by the eyewall cloud.

Gale Warning: A warning of 1-minute sustained sur-

face winds in the range 34 kt (39 mph or

63 km/hr) to 47 kt (54 mph or 87 km/hr) inclusive, either predicted or occurring and not directly associated with tropical cyclones.

High Wind Warning: A high wind warning is defined as

1-minute average surface winds of 35 kt (40 mph or 64 km/hr) or greater lasting for 1 hour or longer, or winds gusting to 50 kt (58 mph or 93 km/hr) or greater regardless of duration that are either expected or observed over land.

Hurricane / Typhoon: A tropical cyclone in which the maxi-

mum sustained surface wind (using the U.S. 1-minute average) is 64 kt (74 mph or 119 km/hr) or more. The term hur-ricane is used for Northern Hemisphere tropical cyclones east of the International Dateline to the Greenwich Meridian. The term typhoon is used for Pacific tropical cyclones north of the Equator west of the International Dateline.

Hurricane Season: The portion of the year having a rela-

tively high incidence of hurricanes. The hurricane season in the Atlantic, Carib-bean, and Gulf of Mexico runs from June 1 to November 30. The hurricane season in the Eastern Pacific basin runs from May 15 to November 30. The hurricane season in the Central Pacific basin runs

Hurricane Warning:

An announcement that hurri-cane conditions (sustained winds of 74 mph or higher) are expected somewhere within the specified coastal area.

Because hurricane prepared-ness activities become difficult once winds reach tropical storm force, the hurricane warning is issued 36 hours in advance of the anticipated onset of tropical-storm-force winds.

Hurricane Watch: An announcement that hurri-

cane conditions (sustained winds of 74 mph or higher) are possible within the specified coastal area.

Because hurricane preparedness activities become difficult once winds reach tropical storm force, the hurricane watch is issued 48 hours in advance of the antici-pated onset of tropical-storm-force winds.

Landfall: The intersection of the surface

center of a tropical cyclone with a coastline.

Because the strongest winds in a tropical cyclone are not located precisely at the center, it is possible for a cyclone’s strongest winds to be experienced over land even if landfall does not occur. Similarly, it is possible for a tropical cyclone to make landfall and have its stron-

gest winds remain over the water.

Major Hurricane: A tropical cyclone with maxi-

mum sustained winds of 111 mph (96 knots) or higher, corresponding to a Category 3, 4 or 5 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.

Storm Surge: An abnormal rise in sea level

accompanying a hurricane or other intense storm, and whose height is the difference between the ob-served level of the sea surface and the level that would have occurred in the absence of the cyclone.

Storm surge is usually estimated by subtracting the normal or astro-nomic high tide from the observed storm tide.

Storm Tide The water level rise during a

storm due to the combination of storm surge and the astronomi-cal tide.

Tropical DepressionA tropical cyclone with maxi-

mum sustained winds of 38 mph (33 knots) or less.

Tropical Storm A tropical cyclone with maxi-

mum sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph (34 to 63 knots).

taking the lead coordination role during major emergency and disaster situations. They coordinate resources on the local and state level to bring to bare on the hazards that may affect the citizens of Wilson County.

At times, they are tasked with making unpopular decisions that will affect the safety and well being of citizens.

They also respond to hazardous materials spills, large fires, and any unusual emer-gency event that occurs in the County. Their role is to obtain and provide specialized resources such as Hazardous Materials Clean-up Teams, Hazardous Materials Re-sponse Teams, Specialized Search and Rescue Resources, and any other specialized resource that may be needed on an incident.

Flood Insurance Homeowners policies do not cover damage

caused by a flood. A flood policy must be in force in order to cover flood damage. It takes 30 days after purchase for a flood policy to take effect, so it’s important to buy flood insurance before floodwaters start to rise. Your home has a 26% chance of being damaged by a flood during the course of a 30-year mortgage, compared to a 9% chance of fire damage. Anyone can buy flood coverage as long as your community participates in the National Flood Insurance Program.

Homeowners Insurance

Most homeowners policies will cover fire or lightning, vandalism, windstorm or hail, explo-sion, riot or civil commotion, impact by aircraft or vehicle, smoke, theft, weight of ice, snow, sleet, accidental water discharge from plumbing or appliances, sudden tearing/bulging of heat-

ing or cooling systems, freezing of plumbing system, and breakage of glass, for your home and personal property. Check with your insur-ance agent to verify the named perils that your policy protects against.

Back-up oF sewer and draIn

Each year, sewer and drain backups cause mil-lions of dollars in damage to the homes owned by policyholders. Most homeowners policies do not cover losses incurred from sewer or drain backup. (A homeowners endorsement offering some limited coverage may be available through your agent).

Shelter from the storm

Wilson County Emergency Management is there to provide shelter to those in need during an emergency situation. While the location and number of shelters may vary, depending on the location of the emergency and number of certified personnel available for staffing, their primary locations are:

• Forest Hills Middle School, 1210 NW Forest Hills Road• Darden Middle School, 1665 Lipscomb Road (overflow from

Darden would direct to B.O. Barnes Elementary School, 1913 Martin L. King Parkway)

In the event a shelter is opened, the WCEM will also open an animal shelter. Because of tornado damage to the former location at the Wilson County Rescue Squad building (animals are not allowed at the primary shelters), WCEM is currently working on an alternate location. Any citizens seeking to board their animal at the shelter:

• Must show proof of rabies vaccination or the animal will not be permitted

• Are highly encouraged to bring their own crate for their pet due to limited supplies and behavioral concerns for the pet

• May not drop off their pet at the shelter and leave. All owners must stay at the shelter with their pet.

The Wilson Rescue Squad building is located at 1902 South Tarboro Street. Times
